CD Projekt SA will boost hiring and revamp operations as chief executive officer Adam Kicinski says Poland’s largest computer game maker has learned from the fiasco around Cyberpunk 2077.

Marketed as a role-playing game that pushes the boundaries of the industry, Cyberpunk was released with so many glitches that Sony Group Corp for months removed the title from its PlayStation Store.
